Why so many big egos on bid etc...
It's all meme meme like peter, retire man
You have health problems too.
 
Peter really annoys me when he presents "real" gold items as he really exaggerates its worth. For example the 9ct Yellow Gold Fancy Cross Pendant he was selling tonight he said "It has a lot of gram weight/terrific gram weight"... yet the gram weight isn't displayed on the screen nor did he mention it(that I heard). I went to the website and found the pendant is 0.88g & the chain is 0.88g.... so considerably below even 2g in weight for them combined? how anybody can say "it has a lot of gram weight" is beyond me.

If he did describe the product as such you might like to contact the ASA, and refer to this Ruling that was made just this week.

I think I'm right in saying that there wasn't one item that cost over £20 on Peter's stint last night. Most of it went for much less. The 15-CD musicals box set went for £3.99 (+ p and p) !

I was going to but they removed the product description (from the website) the second the auction finished, next time I will record the segment & print screen the website info. I didn't think the website would auto refresh and the product description would disappear. Now I can't see the product at all on the website, normally the product info links you to the item on the website that is normally on there.... but this however has just disappeared totally from what I can see.

You need neither to complain. Just advise the ASA at roughly what time, channel and what platform you watched it on. Provide (as best as you can recall) what was said and the ASA will contact Sit Up for evidence.

Their Gold sales can sometimes be incredibly disingenuous, and there's one somewhat bumbling presenter in particular who lays it on with a trowel :wink:
 
Andy H just clearly mentioned (several times) the gram weight for a Belcher Chain.

I must admit it is the first time I have ever even heard him mention gold gram weight.
